What is V-Day?
V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM) and sexual slavery.
Through V-Day campaigns, local volunteers and college students produce annual benefit performances of “The Vagina Monologues” to raise awareness and funds for anti-violence groups within their own communities. In 2006, over 2700 V-Day benefit events took place produced by volunteer activists in the U.S. and around the world, educating millions of people about the reality of violence against women and girls.

What is V-Day at GVSU? GVSU has sponsored The Vagina Monologues, as a part of the V-Day College Campaign, since 2002. It is a volunteer production, organized and performed primarily by GVSU students. All of the proceeds go to organizations working to END VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN. If you have any questions about how you can get involved, contact the Women's Center at womenctr@gvsu.edu.
